Seeing Rachael Yamagata at the Crocodile Café was a real treat – it’s been nearly 3 years since her last visit to Seattle. She’s in the middle of her US tour supporting her new album, Chesapeake. If you liked her first album, Happenstance, you’re sure to enjoy Chesapeake as well – both were produced by John Alagia.
Mastodon headlined Showbox SoDo on November 6th, with support from The Dillinger Escape Plan and Red Fang – that is one super amazing triple bill. The Hunter, Mastodon’s 2011 release, features one of the best album covers of the year. The always excellent Alex Crick contributes some cool shots of the show:
